How does Deep River Campground compare with other water systems in Randolph County?
By EPA's size categories, Deep River Campground is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Randolph County has 96 active public water systems.

Across North Carolina, the 5,087 active systems average 1,971 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Deep River Campground is well below that figure.

North Carolina has 2,745 active transient non-community water systems, 54% of the state's 5,087 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 4,566 North Carolina systems (90%) list groundwater as their primary source.

Does Deep River Campground have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2025. The violations listed here began between July 1985 and October 2025. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting, 3 monitoring and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 7 as archived and 5 as resolved. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed.
